Gatcha/miHoYo Games

[Zagaroth]

So, have any of you started playing Infinity Nikki?

The gatcha is almost pure vanity/outfits. While the stats on the outfits can matter for Styling Contests, the rest of the gameplay is basically unaffected by which cool/pretty outfits you have for Nikki. Also, with enough work, you can clear every story-related styling contest with freely available outfits. So you can save up across banners where you don't care about the outfits presented and then go all-in when you do care.

Gameplay is BotW/TotK style jumping/platforming with a much simpler combat style: you can shoot things with magic blasts or power-stomp them with a small AoE, both modifiable with items you collect and craft in the open world.

My wife and I are fifty and enjoying the hell out of it. You just have to be able to approach the relatively simple story and lore with sincere appreciation; going in full of cynicism is a good way to kill enjoying the game. It's light, fluffy, and laid back, with occasional dark bits if you take in the implications of things that are skimmed over.

I wanna, the game looks really good but I have a severe case of FOMO so I'm afraid I won't have enough time to invest in it so I'll just quit immediately like with WuWa

Unrelated to the above

Well, anyways, apparently Tectone is playing Limbus Company now. Project Moon in general has been getting more and more mainstream lately. Like, Funkey caught the PM brainrot. Glad to see peak fiction getting recognition, but hopefully this doesn't blow up in the community's face. Iirc some of the OG content creators from the lob corp/ruina days distanced themselves from the game already... But then again G-chan came back so you never really know with dramaposting lol

Though i'm fine as long as I can play the game and watch guides on things I already know but watch anyways for some reason.

Please not another Vellmori or Wonderlab incident

worst comes to worst least we'll get Kim Jihoon doing mukbang streams and eating lime green crayons then

Well, it's only been out for two months and many of us have all the quests complete (though I still need to craft one more piece for the final five-star free outfit, but there's currently no quest waiting on that). So there's a very finite amount of story content, but this comes from someone who spent several hour playing each for a while, and still spend 1-2 hours each day to collect more bling (i.e. money/gold/gil/what have you).

As for banners: If you want to be FtP, you would need to skip the current five-star limited banner, but you might be able to pull on the next four-star banner. Just don't pull until you have enough pink crystals + diamonds to guarantee a complete outfit (based on the mercy, which guarantees a 4-star piece every five pulls).

Note: blue crystals are for the unlimited banner, and only whales should ever throw anything other than blue diamonds at the unlimited banner.
